57th Annual NEA Human and Civil Rights Awards - Call for 2024 nominations

Know of an individual, organization, or affiliate that champions racial and social justice and civil rights within their community? Support their good work through a nomination for a 2024 Human and Civil Rights (HCR) Awards. Honorees are recognized during the annual HCR Awards program, held in July, prior to the NEA’s Representative Assembly.

  • Identify and honor exemplary individuals, organizations, and affiliates for their contributions to human and civil rights, and racial and social justice.
  • Celebrate NEA’s multicultural roots and commitment to justice.
  • Recognize today’s human and civil rights victories and chart the path forward.
  • Honor the rich legacy and history of the American Teachers Association (ATA) and NEA merger from whence the HCR Awards program began.



The work of civil rights and social justice heroes is as critical today as it was yesterday. Let’s work together to remind everyone that the cause endures, the struggle goes on, and hope still lives!

Identify your nominees now! It is never too early to begin profiling nominees and potential HCR Award winners! Find information on past winners at nea.org/hcrawards.

Nomination forms and instructions for the 2024 HCR Awards will be available from Oct. 10, to Dec. 8, 2023, at nea.org/hcrawards.
